I graduated with my Master's Degree yesterday and wore 4 inch heels for the occasion. I'm 24, I've worn heels maybe twice in my life, with this being the third time.

So I get out of the room after having my last oral exam and officially graduating with the highest score possible (soft flex, I deserve it). I walk towards the stairs and sure enough my heel slips and I tumble to the very bottom of the stairs. Fractured my tibia, but still tried to get up and walk because it was just way too embarrassing to just lay there.

Anyway, instead of a bunch of cool graduation pics, my brother now has a dozens of pictures with me in the ER waiting for a cast. I wanna die, but I'm glad my education days are over.

TL;DR: I graduated university and the moment I attempted to walk downstairs I stumbled and broke my damn leg...
